crazy hair

Gage's hair is getting long again. It is quite coarse and quite curly. The top refuses to lay down.

A few days ago I put some baby oil in it to try to get it to go down and little bit. Usually it works quite well. Well not that day. All it wanted to do was stick up, so that is what we did. It's quite cute and funny.

I love Gage's hair.

I can't believe how much it has lightened up. I hope it stays dark.

Do you ever...

get the urge to get your hair cut in the middle of the night, and you just can't wait...
so you do it yourself?

Before:

(taken Thursday. Ew)

After:

(Yep, my face is all washed out, but you get the idea. Don't make fun of it if you see me in public. kthnxbye)

**edited** to add the straight version of my lovely haircut.

Guess who is turning FOUR today?

That's right! It is my Hads birthday!
(i am really trying to post pics - but blogger is hatin' on me)
Happy Birthday Hads! I love you and miss you lots!

Hads got a new birthday haircut!  I can't wait to see it!

Sometimes I wonder . . .

Why I even bother. Golly.

Why on earth do I even try to do my hair in the summer?
Why on earth do I spend over an hour or two blow drying and straightening it, just to have it frizzy.
Why on earth do I make myself feel like I am in a sauna IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER!

It seems like when I do decide to straighten my hair (rarely these days) I end up spending two hours, and I am never happy with it. So why, oh why do I even try? And then add to the fact that as i am blow drying it and straightening it, I am sweating bullets. I mean dying. *I am currently sitting in front of the fan trying to get my scalp to dry. blah* By the time I get done with my hair, it's time for another shower.   So there is not even any chance I can consider using the hairdo for a second day.  Seriously.  

My hair use to straighten a lot easier.  Maybe I need a new Chi.  Or something.  Or a deep conditioning.

These are the questions I ask myself every time I decide that I like my hair straight. It may not look fabulous curly, but my day does go a little better. :P

Off to finish my mess of hair.  Why, oh why.  

Random blogginess.

Seeing as it is after 1:30AM and I have to get up in less than 6 hours . . . this is going to be short.  :P  

But I thought I would share a picture or two and say Good Night.

Cute Kids

Beautiful Skies

New Hair 

(yeah, I know.  Crappy pictures.  Oh well. But you get the idea.  Maybe I will take some tomorrow.)

Good Night.  Have a fabulous Thursday!

It's time again . . .

I am in desperate need of a hair cut! I have no idea what to do! It is at an awkward, what ever I do to it, looks sad stage. Blah. I just want to go in to someone and give them free reign on my hair. Too bad that isn't how it works. I would LOVE to go super short again, but since my face has gotten a little chubby since my last super short cut, I'm nervous that I might look silly. But probably it's all in my head. I loved the last haircut I had, but I was just too lazy to get up and straighten my hair everyday. I need a haircut where I can just utilize my curliness. Because lets be honest. I don't want to spend over an hour in the morning on my hair. Just not going to happen. When I do straighten my hair, it takes over an hour. And I am so picky with it that sometimes it stretches to two hours. When it's curly I am not nearly as picky. I'm weird, I know. But right now, it is too bulky and layered weird to have it curly. I have SUPER thin hair. I am talking THIN. And frizzy too!

So if anyone has any suggestions for me, feel free to share. I need all the help I can get. And if someone just wants to take over and do whatever they would like to it, I'd be happy with that too! Anything will help!

So the Jury's out.

Everyone who knows me knows that I have to do things my way before I will be happy with it and like it. Well I did my own hair today and it turns out... I LIKE IT! It is so easy and fast! And I LOVE that.

Here are some more pictures even though they more than likely look like yesterdays, but to me... totally different. Today is MUCH better. And believe it or not, I can get a lot of different looks out of this haircut. Who would have known.

New Hair Cut!

I LOVE cutting my hair! I have been waiting since I started growing it out. LOL! But this morning I decided that today was the day. I decided to look at haircuts. This was the first and last one I looked at. Then I did it.

I really like it. I think that once I get to style it myself, I will like it more. People just don't know how to do my hair. It is super frizzy and quite hard to do! So I think I will be loving this haircut!

Just one question...

It always bugs me when I go to the store to buy Shampoo and Conditoner. They give you a large bottle of Shampoo and the Conditioner is about 1/4 of the size. I don't know about you, but I use just as much Conditioner as I do Shampoo... actually more. So why don't they give you a large Conditioner and a smaller Shampoo? Just Wondering. I guess they make more money.

But I almost think that it is time that I cut my hair. It is falling out faster than I can catch it. At least when it is short I don't feel like I am losing all my hair. Oh well. Who knows. The troubles of me...

HAIR - I need suggestions

So I have been struggling with my hair lately. I am just not sure what to do with it. I wanted it long again... but now that it is long it seems so thin and frizzy and scraggly.

So here is a picture of when i had it short. (of course I can only find my Drivers License Picture... and I hate this picture. This was when It was grown out too!!) I hope it actually looked better than that. I really liked it short.



And here is a picture of my hair from yesterday... straight (and frizzy)



And a picture of it today, curly... (and not even)



Sadly the chubby face is here to stay... so I'll just have to work with it! :)

So when did everyone like my hair better? Ya'll can remember the many changes of my hair... which was your favorite?
I need to do something! Maybe just a trim would make it better. Or an inch. But I kinda like it long... but it seems like I always have to wear it up becuase it has gotten so thin over the past few years...(and I HATE it on my neck) and to think when i was young.. everyone couldn't believe how thick it was... sadly those days are gone.
